SXSW 2012: Day 4

0:07Day four is out by South West and we're having a great time here one of the most important things about a festival like this is the performance of live music So my amazing producer has to go at a ton of the monetary shots today But he handed me this little camera here and he said go down six three go find some cool live music Some stuff you wouldn't usually go check out just go have some fun. That's what I'm gonna do And that's what I think I just found Piccolo and the most of the music Hey, I've never been more impressed my entire life with an opening act because you go into these things

1:28You're like, okay, I've never heard of this person We'll see what happens could be a cool show and then you throw a parachute over the audience and you're doing How do you come up with the ideas for your show? I Just think about stuff that I'd like to see at a show and then I just do those things make it happen Yeah, where does one find a parachute? eBay Find anything on eBay I love just walking by somewhere here something just hits you And you're like I must need it Self-buy people are saturated

2:34They're like they've had their faces melted all day and and they're sweating and you're like so you got to kind of like hit Them with something that's captivating and bring them right in and get them off their blackberries and their Because that's like the big I found that's a big marker here It's like are people interested in the show can be tell by like how many people are looking at their iPhone They could be like tweeting like watching this sick ist man, right? That's what you got to think of What's what I was doing today, but really it's just like what else is going on right now? Oh Charlie tuna is playing in half hour if I leave now I could get in that You are not going to believe what I'm going to show you A different kind of live performance but a live performance nonetheless

3:49What are you looking for out of a band when you see them live? Just excitement, I guess just like it's you know important not to have many lulls in a set I think it's good to give people a break But you don't want to like bore them to death with all your slow songs in one massive clump So it's nice to see people that are passionate as well a lot of times now you see bands very Putting off something it doesn't feel the same way, so I think you know we try and really Use that to you know we try and Put as much of our soul into it as we can We saw some great live music the city as you can see Chaos
